You have seen us on the newsHeard many storiesMostly negativeDon’t blame you if you hate usBut now its time to hear our views

You have seen men with beards and turbansWomen with faces covered and sticks in one handChildren shouting militant slogansWe don’t blame you if you are scared

Who are we?Are we mad, raving lunatics?Intent of destruction and mayhemOr are we human and Muslim just like you?

You have seen the house of Allah surroundedHelicopters and armed soldiersUsed to attack us in our place of worship and homeYou have seen bodies flooding out Most believed the official versionBut some sincere Muslims have doubtsQuestions and criticisms

Do we not deserve justice and a fair hearing?Or is it ok for us to be butchered like animals at Qurbani?Over hundred plus dead and even more woundedMass graves and cover upsSome witnesses say 1500 martyred what was our crime and who convicted us in what court?

If you’re willing to listen and think for yourselfThen here is our story

We are Muslims Just like youBelieve in Allah and his book and ProphetWe accept all the verses and hadithRegardless of the change in time and placeIslam is not only in our heartsBut in our actions too

We saw the evil all around just like you doWe felt angry and sad like everyone else Pakistan established in the name of IslamBut where is Islam in society we asked?

Musharaff camesome people applaudedNeed for change from the Bhuttos and the Nawaz Sharifswhat has he delivered?A partner in America’s war against IslamThousands of Muslims deadAnd open vice and evil everywhere

Brothels even next to masjidsCorruption so openModernisation and progress some sayIt’s the price we pay For being Secular

So we took a standAgainst those who do evilUsed our hands To change the condition of the people We expected the Government to attack usBut we expected better from our brothers and sisters

Do you not wish to live in a better society?Free from corruption and evilBased upon the Prophets SunnahWhere your daughters can walk without being molestedYour sons can get jobs without paying bribesAnd the nation’s wealth will be utilised for the ummah

So we suffered the consequences of our sincerity to AllahWe have no regretsAfter all death is decreed by the creatorWe leave this world working for Allah’s deenYou and us will meet again soonWhere the only currency will be good deedsSo take advantage of the time you have leftAnd read the Quran and Sunnah with an open mind And act upon its commandsInshAllah

Most of the Muslims in pakistan and India are Hanafi muslims. But their Hanafi Deobandi teachers do not teach them the proper things. According to the Imam Abu hanifah, it is forbidden to rise against a government which is established. That is an important principle if any one wants to follow.

Now these people who were running religious schools, did they not know about that ruling of a good guide, The Imam of Fiqah, Abu hanifah. Jihaad has also a few meanings. And it has conditions. They must be fulfilled. The two Ghazi brothers took on themselves to operate Jihad against a government, so the consequences are there. That is like doing a very honest duty, good work in the way of Allah but getting punished for that. Peace is the process not harshness.

The prophet lived in Makkah. But he did not do any Jihaad of the kind that these two Ghazi brothers tried to do. I do not want to defame or blame them. The consequences of this Lal masjid, the after math will also be bad. Because they (maulvis) have woved to carry our more attacks. All Muslims beware. They have no right to do that.

These Deobandis were running many schools. They were producing the Talibaan who fought well and gained a good government in Afghanistan. But what was the end result of that politics without spiritual guidance. These Afghans were no where as good as Hitler and his might. No good as the japanese. So why did they take on the world?? Because they can make a pistol on home made lathes so they think that they are capable of fighting. No. Fighting is not required at all.

Even now, it is better to learn a lesson. The debacle of Lal Masjid could have been avoided then it would have been much better. But it is all politics and who wants to lose a political battle?? Does Yazeed want to lose the battle?? But Hissain had to pay some price.

I liked the feeling of one good friend who saw a Afghan child (bachcha) picking food from a rubbish bin. He told me that these Afghans were the most beautiful people and very clean and honest practicing Muslims. But look how they been misled and ruined that their children are collecting the rubbish in the cities. Very true. I was very sad to learn that.

I don’t know enough about poetry or the incident at the Lal Masjid to comment on that.

However, I’d like to comment on the following statement:

“According to the Imam Abu hanifah, it is forbidden to rise against a government which is established.”

If it is forbidden to rise against an established government then what kind of government can people rise against; one that is not established and does not exist? That is like saying every government anywhere and at all times must be supported, even if it is unjust and evil.
